Gas Masks and Filters

Gas masks are a category of armor and armor attachments used to protect from various hazards present in Nuclear Tech Mod.

Gas Masks

Gas Masks themselves rarely protect from any hazards, as those are covered by filters. Although, some of them may be used to protect your eyes.

Below is a table of what the masks can and can't protect from, where:

V is something a mask can protect from,

O is something a gas mask can't protect from by itself, but is able to do so with the correct filter,

X is something a mask will never protect from, even if the filter used is able to do so,

(and - is used for helmets able to protect from something, but unable to use a filter)

Filters can be installed in most Gas Masks, and are used to add some protection to them. You can unequip filters by crouch-right-clicking.

V is something the filter adds protection from. Easy enough.

It should be noted that the Combo Filter's durability is quite low.
